Episode Starmer’s gone: So can the ‘King of the North’ win back Britain’s working class?
Keir Starmer came to power with an overwhelming majority, but despite some key reforms, it took him less than two years to be rejected by the public and many members of his own party.
His successor will be Britian's seventh prime minister in just ten years.
Enter the ‘King of the North’.
Andy Burnham, beats Starmer hands down when it comes to charisma and popularity. But he’s untested on the national and international stage, and will be facing a British public impatient for change.
So will Andy Burnham be the man to woo back the working class and usher in much needed stability in British politics?
